He taught her how to survive on the streets, bringing her food and showing her where the best water sources were.
Soon, she gave birth to nine healthy puppies and together with Billy, she raised them. However, Billy one day disappeared and that was the end of the happy family.
Eight out of the nine puppies died, leaving her with only one pup, Shion, and Kinumaru herself slowly started to wither away from hunger and illness.
